    Devilishly hard, let's see how many you can get.

    http://blogupnorth.wordpress.com/2010/10/29/huns-80s-intro-quiz/

    A whopping 5 here.

    Mod Edit: It's probably a bit late at this stage but it would be great if people could use spoiler tags spoiler.gif rather than blindly posting the answers for people to read.

    Got 13 out of 15 and knew the act that did number 5 but not the name of the song. Had an idea of the act for 2 also. It's not horrendously hard - some very easy ones in there - but a few tricky ones.
    I think it's moreso a test of who remembers the 80s than who knows their 80s pop. :pac:
    E.g. if you remember 1985 quite well, you'll remember Body Rock - it slipped off the radar quickly but was huge when it was out.

    Just in case anyone doesn't read the first post: It's probably a bit late at this stage but it would be great if people could use spoiler tags spoiler.gif rather than blindly posting the answers for people to read.
